Loaded probably won't get a second series, according to Jim Howick

If you were a fan of Channel 4's sitcom Loaded last year, we have some bad news if you were waiting for series two.

Speaking to Digital Spy about new ITV2 spy spoof Action Team, Jim Howick has revealed that he doubts there will be further adventures of the four friends who became instant millionaires after selling a gaming app.

"I don't think there will be, not on Channel 4. I think that already came out, you're re-opening old wounds. It was a massive show and maybe that's why. It was eight hours and it was unusual for Channel 4 to commission an eight-hour comedy show," he explained.

"If someone else wants to pick it up, I'd be happy to go back to the part because I loved the story and the character, but nothing immediately coming up."

Howick starred in Loaded alongside Samuel Anderson, Jonny Sweet and Nick Helm, who had told Digital Spy that there was a chance for a second series. "There were some rewrites at the end which opened things up for future stories," he noted.

At least we'll be seeing Howick in Action Team which follows a top-secret team of special agents working for the British government to save the world which, according to co-writer and star Tom Davis, was about creating a Bond or Bourne movie and "adding the stupid".
